YOO SHOULD BE DETERMINED in rejecting the worthless and frequently in jurious counterfeits which are sometimes • pushed for the salce of greater gain as "just, as good" as the GENUINE SANDER AND SONS' PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.

The preparation of SANDER'S EXTRACT from the pure selected leaves, and the refinement by special processes give it curative virtues peculiarly its own. There fore, be not misled! Demand and insist upon the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT, and you will derive the benefit that thousands have derived from it before. When ill you should not depress yourself more by the common, bulky and nauseating eucalyptus oils and so-called extracts. What you want is quality and reliability in small dose, and this you find only in— SANDER'S EXTRACT.

"THE CATTLE KING." MAN WITH TOO MUCH MEAT. Mx\ Sydney Kidman, the cattle king, has more meat than his family re quire. He told the Adelaide Abattoirs commission the other day that he had about a quarter of a million cattle, but he couldn't tell the exact number, to within some thousands. He did ■ hot intend to muster them because the job would cost £20,000. He'paid the South Australian railways each year £23,000--for carrying his beasts to market, but the herds were growing all the time, and he hoped to have many more.'

WOMEN STUDENTS IN GERMANY. In an article III "La Revue Gene rale" on "German Women at the Uni- ; versities," Dr. Bertliold Missiaen, al ter pointing out the necessity which exists at the present Jay for more instruction for women, goes 011 10 show - to what extent women in Ger many have taken advantage of the University career, which was opened up to them, but will now take years to put in order again. He says that although from the autumn of 19 OS to 1912 the number of women students rose from 1172 to 25S6, there are only 25S6 women to 54,525 men stu dents, so that there is yet much pro gress to be made. The same state of affairs exists at the high schools or technical schools, where again the liien .entirely outnumber the women students. The author largely attri butes this lack of response on the part of the women to. the need of bet ter preparation for a university career in the schools, particularly in Prussia. The Catholic students, he tells us, who in 1908 only numbered G1 to ...

. NOT EVEN THAT! I He was one of a large family of boys. Tlieir motlier hoped that at least one would have been a good Presbyterian minister, but they slip ped through her hands. Zebulon was the youngest; and all her hopes cen tred in him, until he said: "Mother, I am sorry, but I cannot become a minister." "Why not? What is the reason?" He answered, "I am not good enough to be a minister." She was sorely troubled, but at last filtered out, "Zeb, don't you think you are good enough to be a Unitarian 'minister?" Don't you know the first thing that Eve said to Adam in the Garden of Eden, aind \Vomen have said it ever since: "Oh, don't, Adam, you do make me so untidy!"

THE ROAD TO FAME. "At last," cried the musician, "I have fame within my grasp." "How so?" asked his wife, who had heard, the same thing before. "You know Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March,' and the marvellous repute it brought him?" said the musician. "Yes, what of it?" "Well, I'm going to write a Divorce March." Shearers are reported to be scarce in the back country, yet the city seems to swarm with them. All is not gold that glitters, In arcades; All is not love that titters Like bright barmaids.

[ FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. I —■— It is related in London that an American multi-millionaire, Mr. Regin ald Vanderbilt,' arriving penniless in London, liad to borrow a sovereign from a hotel clerk. That is set down as a 'result of war troubles, but though it may be an event in London, there is nothing out of the way, to a man.who knows his Melbourne, in a millionaire wanting to borrow much less than a sovereign. This scribe has met. John D. Rockefeller's nephew when that gilded youth would have pawned his soul for sixpence and sold it outright for a long whisky and polly. He has also met two Astors and a grandson of Pierpont Morgan, any one of whom was willing to hypothe cate his whole inheritance' for two shillings and sixpence in silver coins. What guarantee was there that they were the millionaires they represent ed themselves to be? Precisely the same guarantee that the hotel clerk had of his visitor's identity, when a person bearing a wealthy air of assur ance marched in and said, ...

NATION CARES FOR SOLDIERS. "DIFFERENT TO .THE GERMANS. The Duke of Marlborough, observing a soldier leaning pensively on the. ■ butt end of his musket just after vic-i tory ha,d been declared at Blenheim,' accosted him thus: "Why so thought ful,' my friend, after such, a -glorious victory?" "It may be glorious," re plied the brave soldier, "but I am 'thinking, .that all the human blood I have spilled this day has only earned me Sour-pence."- That was an incident of old-time English warfare. The na tion learnt a good lesson from Blen heim—the , soldier had to be paid and fed well; he has been practically ever since. The plight of many of the Ger mans is similar to that of the Eng lish guard of the story. They are out fio'liting in these enlightened days for the miserly pittance of two shillings a week,, and out against their will. They have everything to lose through their :patriotismJ The Englishman has also much to lose,, but' not his ,all.' - If he "-should, be 'one in the.;: disa...

THE MILLION UNIT. VASTNESS OF MODERN WAR. QUESTION OF ENDURANCE. CAN ANY NATION STAND |T? (By Adam M'Cay.) The unit of number for the army of a great military nation to-day is the million. Look through the list of men available for war in European coun tries, and you will see the following-: figures:—Germany 5,000,000, France 4,000,000, Russia 8,000,000, Austria 4,000,000, Italy 3,000,000. In each case this is a great proportion of the able-bodied manhood of the nation. The question arises how long can any people endure the withdrawal of all; those men from its ordinary industrial machine, from the work of feeding and clothing their dependents, and of supplying the country with the com mercial activity which is its life? Along 200 miles of country in France and Belgium two million men are esti mated to be entering into martial ac-. tion. These make up the actual fight ing lines, and their number, is hugely increased by the other armies behind, them, engaged in supply and trans-' por...
